REVIVING THE GENRE: Saw [2004]



Saw is a 2004 horror film, and the first installment of the Saw film series.

The plot is focused on two men who find themselves locked in a disused bathroom with
instructions for one to kill the other, or he and his family will be killed in turn.
The characters attempt to escape while the police investigate and attempt to capture
the criminal responsible, the "Jigsaw Killer".

The first Saw, is probably one of the better horror movies I've seen in a while. This movie was
like a breath of fresh air compared to all of the mediocracy that I've faced in the 2K Era.

It was well-written, acted with a convincing cast, and contained a moody atmosphere that made
the viewer feel like they were part of the scenery.

A must-see.
